We had a Maverick back in the day. It first belonged to my oldest brother when he graduated from high school, and he used it to go to junior college. As he got married and purchased his own car, my sister then used it, and so on, and so on, through six kids going to high school and such. I was fifth in line. When I went away to college, my younger sister drove it. After I graduated college, I was allowed to use it again, and drove it out to Texas where I’d gotten a better job. I was only there for a few months before the transmission started slipping. Dad sold it to an immigrant family for maybe $200. It had a lot of miles on that thing. It broke down all the time, but it lasted in our family 14 years.

Did it have a dent in it? A friend and I had a running joke...it seemed that every Maverick we saw had a good sized dent in it.
